Peach Street Books

Fantastic bookstore and coffee shop in Cape Charles. They have a large selection of Eastern Shore themed books from history to nature to fiction. Their coffees are from Eastern Shore Coastal Roasting Company and can be purchased in bulk as well. We have always encountered friendly and helpful staff at Peach Street Books.

On my latest visit to the Eastern Shore I stopped by Peach Street Books in Cape Charles. I've been looking for an old out of print Eastern Shore Cookbook.nnThe bookstore is a testament to Cape Charles itself. In the 90's this town was virtually a ghost town. With some new blood and investment it's now a thriving community once again. For example PSA is a rejuvenated old gas station and garage. You actually enter the store through what used to be the garage area. It's the largest part of the book store and also accommodates the main counter / coffee house portion of the business. In front of that is an outdoor dining area where you can sip your coffee, have a snack and read your purchase. The other half of this area is books, as is the second building and connecting corridor. Books are both new and used and there's plenty to choose from.nnWhile PSB has what every other bookstore has, they also have a section that is a wealth of information on Eastern Shore and it's history. Unfortunately I didn't find the book I was looking for, and that includes with help from the very nice lady working the counter going through her computer. She did however make some suggestions for other bookstores on the Eastern Shore to check out.nnAll in all a great place to check out if you're in Cape Charles or on the Eastern Shore. They're located on the corner of Peach Street and Mason Ave in the heart of downtown Cape Charles.

What a gem! Places like this deserve our support. I'm a fan!
